Sounds like valve is stuck you should not experience that significant of a


pressure loss. I would contact a local well driller some will offer servicing most do not unless they sell the equipment. One expensive solution. Buy a large pressure tank like an 80 or 120 gallon tank if you have room in your well house and crank up the upper setting to 80 psi. Large pressure tanks will have larger bladders so you can crank up the pressure and not continually cycle the well pump.
